Learning Technologies Group PLC (LON:LTGL) released another strong set of results and trading post the year end is ahead of management expectations. The outlook is supported by a successful “co-ordinated selling” strategy, which has been driving cross-sales across the business units, creating sector-leading margins, and the order book is healthy. LTG is comfortably on target to double run rate revenues to £100m and achieve run rate EBIT of at least £25m by the end of 2020. While the shares look punchy on c 34x our FY19e EPS, the business is attractively positioned in an industry growing in double figures and we note that potential high-teen growth opportunities are hard to find across the broader market.
FY17 results: Underlying organic growth was 20%
Key FY17 numbers were in line with the January update. Group revenue grew by 84% to £52.1m, including 36% organic growth (35% on a constant currency basis). After stripping out the lumpy CSL contract, underlying organic growth was 20%. Recurring revenues were 39% of the total, or c 42% on a pro forma basis. Adjusted EBIT more than doubled to £14.0m, implying that H2 margins were 32.4% against 19.2% in H1, reflecting H2 weighting and synergies generated from NetDimensions. NetDimensions has comfortably met its $8m cost savings and generated a stronger than anticipated performance in Q4. LTG ended FY17 with £1.0m of net cash (£7.9m ahead of our forecasts prior to the January update).
